Cross­Fit is the prin­ci­pal strength and con­di­tion­ing pro­gram for many police acad­e­mies and tac­ti­cal oper­a­tions teams, mil­i­tary spe­cial oper­a­tions units, cham­pion mar­tial artists, and hun­dreds of other elite and pro­fes­sional ath­letes worldwide.

Our pro­gram deliv­ers a fit­ness that is, by design, broad, gen­eral, and inclu­sive. Our spe­cialty is not spe­cial­iz­ing. Com­bat, sur­vival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fit­ness and, on aver­age, pun­ish the specialist.

The Cross­Fit pro­gram is designed for uni­ver­sal scal­a­bil­ity mak­ing it the per­fect appli­ca­tion for any com­mit­ted indi­vid­ual regard­less of expe­ri­ence. We’ve used our same rou­tines for elderly indi­vid­u­als with heart dis­ease and cage fight­ers one month out from tele­vised bouts. We scale load and inten­sity; we don’t change programs.

The needs of Olympic ath­letes and our grand­par­ents dif­fer by degree not kind. Our ter­ror­ist hunters, skiers, moun­tain bike rid­ers and house­wives have found their best fit­ness from the same regimen.

Thou­sands of ath­letes world­wide have fol­lowed our work­outs posted daily on this site and dis­tin­guished them­selves in com­bat, the streets, the ring, sta­di­ums, gyms and homes.

Why Start Crossfitting?

Through Head trainer Brendan’s Eyes

For those of you who are not famil­iar with Cross­fit, it is basi­cally a bad ass con­di­tion­ing pro­gram that many of the worlds elite ath­letes, police offi­cers, fire­fight­ers, and the guys for 300 used to get into shape. It pulls func­tional move­ments from many dis­ci­plines such as gym­nas­tics and weightlift­ing and builds from those move­ments to make work outs that are fun,that men­tally and phys­i­cally toughen you up for life changes.

Many Cross­fit work outs only take twenty min­utes leav­ing you with time for other things. Also, many of the work outs can be done  at home, at the park, or just a reg­u­lar gym with no or min­i­mal equipment.

The Three E’s

Cross­fit can be said to have 3 main Ben­e­fits it will Make you:

1. Effec­tive
2. Effi­cient
3. Effi­ca­cious

With short work outs you may be curi­ous to know if it is enough work, well it is! Since most work outs are timed you are forced to do as much as you can in an allot­ted amount of time, which equates to more power. Which then equates to results, athe­is­ti­cally pleas­ing results that wont leave you look­ing like a small head Large bod­ied moun­tain of mus­cle (body builder) that you see in the com­mon gym (globo Gym).  Did I men­tion that we don’t even have mir­rors in the gym.

Com­pete­tive

Your in a class with 10 other cross­fit­ters. The work out is FRAN, which is 21–15-9 pull-ups and thrusters. The trainer scales every one with the intent of hav­ing the grandpa’s, moth­ers and 21 year bucks all fin­ish­ing around the same time. In other words the work out is rel­a­tive to he or she’s fit­ness level. The trainer yells “3–2-1 GO!” and the music starts. Every­one starts mov­ing so they can have the best time on the board. You real­ize that this is more of a com­pe­ti­tion than a work out. With any com­pe­ti­tion that ath­lete is moti­vated to change their life style to get bet­ter. Does your cur­rent work out give you that mindset?

Func­tion­al­ity

Cross­fit uti­lizes move­ments that your body is meant to do. For exam­ple, you are prob­a­bly sit­ting in front of a com­puter right now, what are you going to do when you stand up? Squat! When your ances­tors were run­ning from dan­ger and had to get into a tree to evade dan­ger what did they do? A pull up or mus­cle up! By uti­liz­ing move­ments that are ingrained in your gene pool you get the most bang for your buck. Did I men­tion that be don’t do bi-cept curls? And this is not because there are no mir­rors either. Instead we do Pull-ups or band assisted pull up or ring rows, move­ments that make you bet­ter at liv­ing life.

Com­mu­nity

If you decide to join a Cross­fit gym you will develop a cama­raderie with other mem­bers. Shared suf­fer­ing and and achieve­ment cre­ates strong bonds. There is noth­ing like hav­ing some clap you on, or count down your reps like it was the the mil­len­nium party all over again. The friends I have made through Cross­fit is the best part about doing Crossfit.

Aes­thet­ics

Though Cross­fit is almost exclu­sively con­cen­trates on ath­letic per­for­mance, a result of this train­ing is a very lean mus­cled look. For instance, the actors in the movie 300 did Cross­fit for 3–6 months before the movie and they were ripped!

It Rocks

In my eyes, these are the most preva­lent rea­sons why a fit­ness enthu­si­ast would want to use Cross­fit as their train­ing pro­gram. All you need to d0 is just come down to the gym and ask the ath­letes your self what they think.

Who are our ath­letes?
Just reg­u­lar peo­ple from all walks of life rang­ing from all fit­ness lev­els and ages from but not lim­ited to, 58  to 18 years old.
